Little Brother, chapters 13&14

Marcus, as M1k3y, started to make blogs about everything the newspapers got wrong, starting with the concert. It was originally Ange's idea, because everyone was emailing M1k3y  about it. I think it was a good idea. If you want people to know the truth, you have to put it out there. No one who wasn't there will know the truth unless it is out there for someone to find. I also think that it was kind of a good thing that people who didn't have Xboxes or Xnet could get on it and read about what actually happened in the park that night. Another good and bad thing is that the news about the Xnet was all over the radio and news. It was good because people could access it and read about what actually happened, but it was bad because the DHS was all over how to track down who started it and the ring leader M1k3y. Seeing as Marcus was already being tracked by the DHS, the fact that he was M1k3y too didn't really help him stay out of trouble.

Marcus got suspended. I think it was kind of a good thing, because he got suspended trying to stand up for what he believed in. In social studies, the teacher was talking about how the concert in the park was a riot and how the people at the concert acted like terrorists because they didnt disprse when they wer instructed to and they created fear. I disagree, because the people were just trying to have a good time listening to music until the police showed up. Also, I agree with Marcus because he said that America was for dissent and that it was wrong to have to government controling what they chant about.
